That's good news.  I'd like to package this version for Debian, either
alongside the current Debian minc package (version 1.5) or replacing
it.

The library versioning, however, remains a problem.  Packagers such as
Debian prefer to ship shared libraries.  For this to work
successfully, the software must correctly version the shared libraries.
Since you're using libtool, you need only follow the rules outlined
in http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual.html#Versioning,
specifically section 6.3.

It would be helpful if the MINC maintainers would commit to following
this procedure.  Is this possible?

Thanks,
